It's a xud9 ph2 with big hybrid turbo, fmic, 11mm head, oil cooler. Changed few headgaskets, new head and skimmed and everything. The temp stays at 80 degrees. After a bit of coaling, the coolant level light comes on while running slowly at 2000rpms, a bit of revving and the light goes off. There's water coming out from the coolant reservoir cap. Could it be the cap that makes such a huge difference in letting the pressure out of the system?
HELP! Pressure in the cooling system

Has it been bled properly? Sometimes cap can let coolant out, as they do have a little pressure as coolant is mixed with water which naturally expands with heat, also is the heaters hot? I replaced a few head gaskets on blaze and found the matrix was blocked and caused each gasket to blow due to bad circulation

It's been properly beld. Heaters hot and the heater matrix is conected.

have you pressure tested the cap to see if its holding pressure or just letting water out after its expanded? Might be worth a few £'s to buy anew cap ??

Looks like its the head gasket again. I think the head wasn't skimmed well so doing it again.

Did you have it pressure tested last time you did the head a lot of people try to save money by leaving this important process

So it actually was the head. It was blowing through the pre-chambers. Now is runing fine. Had some problems with a stuck injector.
